Batman: Arkham Asylum coming to Mac

Feral Interactive is handling a port of Batman: Arkham Asylum, set to hit October 13 for $39.99.

If you're a gamer who doesn't own a PC, PlayStation 3, or Xbox 360 -- first of all, what are you doing here? But second, good news! You can finally play one of the hottest games of 2009, Batman: Arkham Asylum. It will release on October 13 for $39.99, just a week before Arkham City hits. You can even grab it as a direct download from the Mac App Store.

The press announcement doesn't tease any added features for the Mac version, but the port is being handled by Feral Interactive -- the studio that handled the OSX versions of Dirt 2, Borderlands, and Lego Indiana Jones 2. Suffice to say, they know their way around a Mac.

Even if a bit late, Arkham Asylum is still worth picking up if you've somehow missed out on the game. It received critical praise across the board with its responsive combat and stealth mechanics. Of course, you could probably pick up the console or PC versions for cheaper, without waiting a month, but it's none of our business how you spend your money.
